2. Many experts say that there may be little hope for the Lakers to win the championship in recent years, but Kobe has indeed surpassed Jordan in personal skills. The most powerful basis for them to reach this conclusion is that KB has known many times this season that the scores of the top ten players this year are at the highest position in their careers, or close to the highest. Did NBA players collectively improve their basketball skills (scoring ability) overnight? Then why hasn't the defensive ability been greatly improved or even regressed? Since bill russell, American basketball has been put on the same level as offense, even higher. How do you explain the high scores of stars this year? There is a simple reason. The referee's decision is more favorable to the attacking players. Now as long as the defensive action is slightly excessive, it will blow a foul. Because the Pistons entered the finals by tight defense and overall cooperation, NBA officials believe that in order to enhance the appreciation of basketball, the referee's penalty should be more inclined to the offensive side. But they only have one effect. The star's personal offensive ability has indeed been enlarged, and many stars are surrounded by the aura of vanity. Many fans regard their idols as omnipotent gods (even the stars themselves are deceiving themselves. ), in fact, they are wrong, and even the NBA league is not completely correct, because under the premise of encouraging offensive rules, the team with strong defense is "worse" this season, but the team with poor defense is even more full of loopholes, and the tough pistons have played the best regular season in recent years (so far, to david stern's surprise, in fact, the history of recent decades has told everyone that it is impossible for a team with serious imbalance in offense and defense to win the championship). So frankly speaking, Kobe's ability is almost the same as before, but now the referee is more strict with the defenders, so it is very beneficial for a player with excellent offensive ability like Kobe. Look at the game where Kobe scored 62 points. The Mavericks hardly defended, because the Mavericks' defense was really poor. If they were a little tight, they would call the Mavericks a foul. So under such favorable circumstances, Kobe began to run wild. Many people also say that the defense is not strict now, and the defense in Jordan's era is even worse. Let's take a look at the common pictures on the forum. In the 1980s, Jordan was usually not defended by one or two people, but by three people or even the whole team. There are only one or two people or even half defending Kobe Bryant now, because the penalty scale this season is very unfavorable to defenders. So I feel that Kobe is very young now. However, the scoring ability is still a little worse. KB usually only hangs around in the air when the defender is weak, and looks better than JD. No matter how strong the defender is, no matter how many defenders defend, they must score. Even now, even if the defense is not very brutal, it is almost impossible to see Kobe dunking on others' heads, and more often he dodges in the air. Under normal circumstances, even if Kobe's dunk is unguarded, it is not a strong physical collision. When he was young, Jordan often saw him dunk with stout people, which is a comprehensive embodiment of speed, skill, bounce, toughness and domineering. Young Jordan is more like a person playing basketball under the basket. In fact, this year's Kobe is a bit like Jordan in the 86-87 season. That season, Jordan averaged 37. 1 point and shot over 50%. This year, Kobe scored just over 33 points with such a weak defense, and many of them relied on free throws. A lot of free throws in previous seasons are definitely not fouls. The hit rate of KB is only 44.5%, which is average. Because of the weak defense this year, the number of hits of the stars is very high, so you can look at the data rankings.
Now let's talk about their efficiency, contribution and dominance. KB's hit rate of 44.5% can't even reach the average level among super guards this year. His scores are often supported by a lot of shots. He often sees more than 30 or even 40 shots. If he is a superstar, he can get that many points. Kobe's scoring deprived his teammates of shooting opportunities to a certain extent, and did not show much efficiency at all. There may be two reasons why he didn't give his teammates more chances. The first KB distrusts his teammates and thinks they are not competent enough. Trust others rather than yourself. This is a very interesting thing. I don't trust my teammates. Who took countless shots for him? Can it be said that his defense, rebounding and stealing are all one-stop? The second possibility is that he has an extremely inflated personal heroism and thinks he can do anything. One person can never beat five people, and he begins to walk into a dead end. Because this road Jordan had already passed in the 1980s, and it was proved to be a dead end. Later, he began to cultivate a young man with more potential. The bull finally won the championship two years later, and that young man was Scott Pippen. What is dominant? 1A few years after Jordan retired in 998, I thought O 'Neill was the real dominant player first. At the peak of O 'Neill's career, no matter how many people defend him, no matter whether the opponent has fouled or not, he still has to score, and his hit rate is very high. Every player can safely give the ball to Shaq. In recent years, it seems that only Jordan has such dominance among NBA guards. First of all, his shooting percentage is the same as that of the center (50. 1%, until the season of 1998), because he is a real basketball player. Not only can he perform dunks on the All-Star weekend, but he is also better at dunking in the crowd. Jordan's countless key goals are amazing. People are more positive about Jordan's psychological quality, but I think this is a profound misunderstanding of His Majesty the Flying Man. First of all, the key ball should come from his skill. You might as well watch his videos of many key balls. Every time he makes a move, he is completely undefended, so everyone will think that his move is so calm. Only when he has no defense at all (the moment of shooting is almost equivalent to shooting without defense) will his shooting percentage be so high. Being able to get rid of the opponent's defense at the most critical time is the real technical embodiment, because the opponent knows that the ball will be given to Jordan, and they will even defend him at all costs, but he will tear open the enemy's defense with a more violent attack. But on the other hand, many of Kobe's key shots are relatively reluctant or even impossible. Of course, it is a sign of a superstar that Kobe can attract enough attention from his opponents at critical times, but it is not great. As for whether a great player can get high scores at non-critical moments, this is not the standard to measure a great player. For Jordan, standing on the basketball court, the most important thing is not the scoring champion, not even the MVP, but the championship. Playing MVP is not the same as playing the championship, and it is not mature enough. He just wants to lead a team now.
As far as defense is concerned, Jordan has been selected as the best defensive team for nine times, and Kobe seems to have only one impression in my mind. As far as achievements are concerned, Jordan has too many, six championships, five regular season MVPs, six finals MVPs, and 10 scoring champion. . . For Kobe Bryant, except for three championships, there is hardly any weighty title. At present, Kobe is just a young man with outstanding basketball skills and physical fitness. He didn't show much basketball IQ, and his understanding of basketball was not very high. In this respect, he is far behind Duncan. Of course, he is still young, but his physical fitness is only four or five years old, and he will play with his brain in the future. Jordan was 32 when he first came back. He can't take off from the free throw line and dunk. He couldn't enjoy playing on the basket, so he created his own stunt, back spin jump shot. No one can surpass him so far. If you don't believe me, you can watch the 97-98 All-Star video and see how he used that crazy trick to win Kobe. To some extent, this is a reflection of basketball IQ and basketball understanding ability. Because he knows what age and how to play, he also learned to better cooperate with his teammates. For example, when he was double-teamed, he had learned how to pass the ball. If Kobe's basketball understanding ability can't be greatly improved, he can only be regarded as an excellent player instead of a great player all his life. Finally, at present, if Kobe is used to appreciate and admire, then Jordan is used to admire.
